"This is just one of those games that, you look at it, and look at the amount of features that it has and compare it to newer Ghost Recon games, dating as far back as, I think, even Ghost Recon 2 started messing with the formula, which was even a console-only game, and then it just got worse after that. Because later on, the PC became the platform that got the ports from the console, when it came to Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, which was basically just trash."

:( god i miss those days.

About 3 weeks ago i fired up OGR and played the castle map. I got seriously owned on medium difficulty (note he was playing as recruit)

These new games ( Battlefield and especially COD which is mindless ) took my patience away... grrrr. i kept getting so frustrating i ended up playing the mission for like 5 hours till i beat it.

And that brought back the memories. OGR single player and MP was about frustration. Thinking dang, if i only would have waited or done this differently. And then you would come back with the new tactic and try it again. You truely had to think instead of mindlessly respawning over and over or taking 40 hits with a god like default mode.

I remember one time playing MP on ghost town. I was down behind the rock and the other team was firing GL's at me. I got so injured (the most i have ever been in a game). I had 2 broken legs, arm, chest and head. Basically i only had one good arm. I was praying they would kill me off lol... so i crawled out into the open to die. I couldn't stabilize my weapon and the breathing of the character was ringing in my ears while the reticules were all over the place and my limping was sooo slow. My ammo was down to my postol and i was out of hand grenades... so i was useless. Things like this made you feel what the character was feeling. You didn't want to get shot and at some points you just wish they would have killed you.

In ladder matches the worst thing that could happen to you was a leg wound. If you were dead you either stayed on your body to report movement or sound (you could only see the direction you were facing when you died) or you would watch your teamies, being extra eyes and ears... and only seeing what they could see. You because your teammates conscious... and the chatter you had on TS and your teammate that was still playing telling the team to shut up cuz you can't hear over them.

At the end of drill nights we always used to wind down with a few PvP rounds with pistols and frags on the training map,
